Glossary
Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) -
the payload field plus a little overhead of a basic
SONET signal.
Synchronous Transfer Mode (STM) -
a transport and switching method that depends on infor-
mation occurring in regular, fixed patterns with respect to a reference such as a frame pattern.
Synchronous Transport Signal (STS) -
a SONET electrical signal rate.
Systeme En Coleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) - Sequential and Memory Color Television -
Started
in France in the late 60s, and used by other countries with a political affiliation. This is. The B-
Y and R-Y signals are transmitted on alternate lines modulated on an FM subcarrier. The
memory is a one line delay line in the receiver to make both color difference signals available
at the same time on all lines. Due to FM, the signal is robust in difficult terrain.
Systems Network Architecture (SNA) -
a proprietary networking architecture used by IBM and
IBM-compatible mainframe computers.
T1 -
a specification for a transmission line. The specification details the input and output char-
acteristics and the bandwidth. T1 lines run at 1.544 Mbps and provide for 24 data channels. In
common usage, the term “T1” is used interchangeably with “DS1.”
T1 Link -
A wideband digital carrier facility used for transmission of digitized voice, digital
data, and digitized image traffic. This link is composed of two twisted-wire pairs that can
carry 24 digital channels, each operating at 64K bps at the aggregate rate of 1.544M bps, full
duplex. Also referred to as DS-1.
T3 -
a specification for a transmission line, the equivalent of 28 T1 lines. T3 lines run at 44.736
Mbps. In common usage, the term “T3” is used interchangeably with “DS3.”
Tachometer -
in ForeView, the tachometer shows the level of activity on a given port. The num-
ber in the tachometer shows the value of a chosen parameter in percentage, with a colored bar
providing a semi-logarithmic representation of that percentage.
Tagged Cell Rate (TCR) -
An ABR service parameter, TCR limits the rate at which a source may
send out-of-rate forward RM-cells. TCR is a constant fixed at 10 cells/second.
Telephony -
The conversion of voices and other sounds into electrical signals which are then
transmitted by telecommunications media.
Telnet -
a TCP/IP protocol that defines a client/server mechanism for emulating directly-con-
nected terminal connections.
Terminal Equipment (TE) -
Terminal equipment represents the endpoint of ATM connection(s)
and termination of the various protocols within the connection(s).
Throughput -
Measurement of the total useful information processed or communicated by a
computer during a specified time period, i.e. packets per second.
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) -
a method of traditional digital multiplexing in which a sig-
nal occupies a fixed, repetitive time slot within a higher-rate signal.
Token Ring -
a network access method in which the stations circulate a token. Stations with
data to send must have the token to transmit their data.
